CLR Development Resource List

This is a list of resources that I had in my CLR Internals talk last week at the Dallas C# SIG.  There are so many great CLR articles and webcasts but these are my best and may come in handy for someone else.  The oldie but goodie is on DrDobbs site, Don Box discussing the two main CLR DLL's.  I'm sure that it won't be up there forever.
